>> the motion is adopted. >> reporter: and after midnight president obama signed it into law. the 11th hour compromise reopens the government, but the funding only goes through january 15th. it extends the nation's credit limit, pu only until february 7th. there are no major changes to the president's health care law. the main republican sticking point that sparked the shutdown in the first place. congress seemed pretty proud of itself for hammering out a deal. there was little celebrating. >> there's a lot of work ahead of us, including our need to earn back the trust of the american people. >> this is pain inflicted on our nation for no good reason. >> washington ended its self-inflicted crisis, but it was a rough and tumble three weeks. republicans waged a lengthy, bitter fight with democrats and with themselves. texas senator ted cruz rallied conservatives into a fight over obama care that triggered the shutdown. he lashed out against his fellow senate republicans who he said -- >> decided to direct their criticism, direct their attention, direct their cannon

fire at house republicans. >> by one estimate the 16-day shutdown cost a whopping $1.4 billion a day. it curbed school lunch programs, kept 800,000 federal workers off the job and disrupted plans for millions of tourists and the businesses who depend on them. and there will be new deadlines in just a few months. at this point all signs point to republicans continuing their fight into the next round. last night as he was leaving the white house briefing room president obama was asked, is this all going to happen again in just a few months? john and diana, he paused and emphatically said, no. maybe that's just wishful thinking. >> they call it kicking the can down the road. let's hope not. karen, exactly how does the government reopen and when does it happen? >> reporter: john, just with the signing of that bill from president obama this morning, the government is officially open. the office of management and budget that sent an order out that said start the orderly

that 74% of americans said they disapproved of the job republicans were handling. that went up from the beginning of the shutdown until this week. they are certainly taking most of the blame. >> let's hope some lessons are learned here. abc's karen travers live on the hill. >> that brings us to our facebook question of the morning. >> with the similar showdown looming in the next few months, what is your advice for congress in seeking a permanent solution to the budget crisis. join our political debate, wnnfans.com. there are modest gains in overseas markets now that the fiscal cries sis has passed. >> our coverage continues with abc's lana zach covering wall street. >> good morning. the markets were overjoyed. for everyone who's watching their 401 k and worried about the market, well, for the moment you can breathe a sigh of relief. the markets were riding high with words that the senate had

made a deal to avoid thursday's possible debt default and economic calamity, at least for a few months. the nasdaq, s&p and dow all surging upon word that the u.s. economy may have received a stay of execution. but from wall street to america's crossroads in time square, almost no one thinks this deal resolves the core issues that led to the shutdown. >> extending the deadline doesn't actually help the situation whatsoever, it's all about coming to an agreement and to an understanding and actually making something happen. >> no optimism whatsoever? >> no, not really. >> reporter: in fact, government dysfunction brought america's financial health to the very brink. vicky brown quit her job to become a hairdresser. >> i had been thinking about leaving previous to the shutdown. i'm going to return back to school and i have another part-time job doing hair as well. >> as an essential employee she was still working but she wasn't getting paid.

it is interesting if you look at the last couple of days. there have been some down days and selloffs on wall street but hasn't been any major day of panic and the sense we were getting from talking to investors and analysts is that wall street was confident that washington was going to work this out. that some deal was going to be come up with by the 11th hour and sure enough congress came through. i don't think that everyone was as confident as wall street was. >> talk about the political fallout. house republicans waving the white flag in this one kind of. >> reporter: they did. if you look at it, john, they got nothing out of this. they went in with certainly many demands. first, it was a full repeal of the president's health care law. that was never going to happen and they came up with ways they wanted to chip away at obama care. when it was said and done last night, none of it was there. the president got everything he wanted. he insisted he was not going to negotiate when it came to the debt ceiling. he did not and congress still voted to increase it. house republicans from, all

accounts, got nothing out of this deal. john, diana? >> karen travers live on capitol hill. thank you. brings us to the facebook question. >> we want to know what is your advice for congress in seeking a permanent solution to the budget crisis? go to wnnfans.com. as the shutdown ends and federal workers return to their jobs, our coverage of the political fallout picks up steam. look for live reports on "america this morning" and "good morning america" later on abc news. another political headline this morning, newark mayor cory booker will be the next u6789 s. senator from new jersey. he won the race to fill the remaining 15 month of the late great frank lautenberg's term. he recalled how his father who died last week taught him the values of love and hard work. a trial against five bernie madoff employees has opened here in new york. they say they wove a web of deception year after year for one reason -- greed. the trial will showcase testimony of madoff's former finance chief and five other
